TURBO CHARGE YOUR RELATIONSHIP

How to feel more loved, united and understood

The fertility journey can put a strain on the best of relationships. One of the gifts from our journey was that I learnt the importance of expressing and sharing emotions in a relationship. I wasn't aware how important it was for my wife to understand how I was feeling about things rather than what I thought about them. I also have a habit of being 'Mr Fix It' and all she craved was for me to understand how she felt, not fix it.

I want to share a communication strategy that I teach clients which can help couples feel more connected, united and ultimately more loved. Taking time to check in with each other and really understand how each other feel about things is the glue that keeps us strong in difficult times. If s about holding a space for the other person to feel safe to express themselves without trying to change or judge their feelings.
